US blames Europe for Turkish stance on Iran vote

联合国通过对伊朗制裁新决议

The US yesterday blamed Europe for alienating Turkey from the west after it became one of only two members of the United Nations Security Council to vote against imposing more sanctions on Iran.

美国昨日指责欧洲让土耳其与西方疏远。此前，在联合国安理会(UN Security Council)有关对伊朗实施更多制裁的投票表决中，土耳其投了反对票。

The sanctions resolution, passed by 12 votes to two with one abstention, establishes a partial arms embargo, an inspection regime for Iranian ships and takes steps against companies linked to the Revolutionary Guard Corps.

这份新制裁决议以12票赞成、2票反对、1票弃权获得通过。决议提出对伊朗实施部分武器禁运、建立对伊朗船舶的检查机制、并对与伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队(Revolutionary Guard Corps)有关联的公司实施制裁。

The sanctions, which also aim to restrict Iran's missile programme, were imposed because of Tehran's continued enrichment of uranium in defiance of earlier resolutions. Iran will also be prohibited from mining uranium in other countries.

该决议还力求限制伊朗的导弹项目。联合国安理会之所以对伊实施新制裁，是因为伊朗无视早前的决议，继续进行铀浓缩活动。伊朗还将被禁止在其它国家开采铀矿。

But the US and its allies also renewed their offer to negotiate with Iran, underlining the Obama administration's hope that a balance of pressure and engagement could still convince Tehran to rein in its nuclear ambitions.

但美国及其盟友还重申了与伊朗谈判的提议，这突显出奥巴马(Obama)政府希望，施压与接触并举，仍有望说服伊朗遏制自己的核野心。

Turkey and Brazil, both temporary members of the Security Council, opposed the sanctions, while determined US diplomacy won over Russia and China, two veto-wielding members of the body that had previously been reluctant to pressure Iran.

安理会临时成员国土耳其与巴西投了反对票；而美国决心坚定的外交政策赢得了俄罗斯与中国的支持——这两个在安理会拥有否决权的国家此前不愿意对伊朗施压。

Robert Gates, US defence secretary, suggested the European Union's reluctance to admit Turkey as a member could be pushing the country away from the west.

美国防部长罗伯特•盖茨(Robert Gates)暗示，欧盟(EU)不愿意接受土耳其加入，可能会推动该国与西方疏远。

“If there's anything to the notion that Turkey is moving eastwards, it is in no small part because it was pushed – and it was pushed by some in Europe refusing to give Turkey the kind of organic link to the west that Turkey sought,” he said.

他表示：“如果说土耳其正向东转这种说法有任何真实成分的话，那么这在相当大程度上是因为有人在把它往那边推——欧洲一些国家拒绝给予土耳其所寻求的与西方的有机联系。”
